A datasheet is a reference document for an integrated circuit chip (IC). The datasheet is produced by the manufacturer to assist the engineer in understanding the functionality, pin description, and electrical characteristics of the chip. A datasheet typically summarizes the functionality and pinout (pin name and location) on the first page and expands behavior, internal circuit, and electrical specifications on the remaining pages.

Every integrated circuit chip is identified in the industry by a unique part number. Engineering students slowly memorize the part numbers as they complete product designs in their undergraduate classes.
